Music Shit / Re: What is everybody listening to? Part II
« on: December 18, 2007, 07:23:23 PM »I feel bad for you guys sometimes. You can access music so easily and you find it with a click. You're way less likely to get into something by accident.
I'm sure a lot of us here can remember having to buy shit before evwen know what it sounded like just because we heard it was good. Even "big" bands like Wire. When I was 16 I found Wire cassettes in the cutout bin. "I read about these guys." I also bought some terrible shit from the same bin, just because I had no other way of hearing it other than harrassing Matt Pinfield to play some SPK on 106.3 ("Why do you keep calling, no one wants to hear SPK! I'm putting on Nitzer Ebb again, or whatever the fuck he put on). (True story). And I don't even think I'm that old!!
Also, liking good music rarely equates being a "cool" or even "ok" person. I'd rather someone listen to an NPR station than Whitehouse or Amon Duul 2 if I'm going to have a conversation with them.
just because i'm young and have access to the internet doesn't mean i'm a serial downloader. i researched my shit to the dust and bones of the band. i learned of new order from old cassette tapes and gong from traded, dusty vinyl. not fair! little girls can thrash with the big boys too goddammit.

« on: December 18, 2007, 06:29:05 PM »haha yeah. i grew up listening to the talking heads and dead kennedy's. my brother first played me the residents when i was 14. i think that has a lot to do with the bar being set very high at a pretty young age. kind of fucked me up, really.it's kind of ridiculous to meet people my age (18) who are now just getting into that music. it's like "pussy galore? that was my soundtrack to 8th grade"
And for me, it's mind-blowing that it WAS that way for some people. I wasn't into the Raincoats cause I was a pretentious pre-adolescent postpunker (not implying that you were). I got into the Raincoats because I loved Nirvana when I was 11/12 and Kurt Cobain talked about them. Seriously.
It's kind of like when people talk about how it was their parents that got them into "good" music, listening to the Ramones with them or whatever. SERIOUSLY MIND-BLOWING.
Maybe it's cause I'm 16 and my parents are already in their 50s, but the generation-influence gap has just always seemed too big, to me. Well, whatever.
And 18 is not too late to get into Pussy Galore. Crazytalk.

I remember when I was 12 I played "Sugar" by Bikini Kill for my best friend and she started crying.
I entered my "riotgrrl" phase when I was about 12, too. Bikini Kill, Raincoats, Slits, etc.
Except I didn't have any friends. SO IT GOES.
Listening: Instant Automatons- "Not so deep as a well", and next I think I'll listen to the Raincoats; for my childhood's sake.
HEY EVERYONE QUIT TRYING TO OUTNERD EACH OTHER.

i used to read the dictionary for fun when i was a kid. yeah, i was even more boring as a kid than i am as an adult.
I read a set of encyclopedias as a youngster....twice. Didn't miss a word. Dorky as fuck, I guess. But I played a lotta sports, too, so my dorkiness was balanced out a bit. Got more garbage for the "shitty music" I listened to in high school. No one else liked anything I played...cept GG and the Samoans were considered good novelty music. And the girls dug Jesus & Mary Chain. Both gals & dudes were OK with the Cramps, now that I think of it, but nothing else.
I remember when I was 12 I played "Sugar" by Bikini Kill for my best friend and she started crying. I hid my GG Allin cd's from her when she came over. 12 year old girls were real douches.

Anyone know anything about this? I am blown away by it. Was there only ever one "issue"? All I've found so far is #5; and as far as I know I think that's the only one.
SO GOOD.

Non-Music Shit / Re: Those of you that have read The Fountainhead
« on: November 06, 2007, 09:49:24 AM »
How did I not find this thread until now?
The Fountainhead changed me. I read it when I was 14 and finished it in under a week. Seriously engaging. I've never connected with a book as much as I have that one... however I've very rarely met anyone who found credibility in Ayn Rand. It's important to understand Rand's history and distrust for communism in order to truly appreciate what she articulates. It's significant literature; unpretentious and morally-bending. Fucking stellar.
